Israel has had enough of the Houthis

[Barry]

I believe they have fired more than 200 drones, cruise missiles and other missiles since October 7th. These were mostly intercepted. However their actions including attacks on shipping in the Red Sea have meant the closure of the port of Eilat. Yesterday a drone killed 1 and injured 10 in Tel Aviv, which was the last straw.

Israel have attacked targets in Hodeidah and set the port alight. 70% of what is handled there goes to the terrorist, Iran backed Houthis.

Benjamin Netanyahu told the world that this target is at 1700km range from Israel. Teheran is 1500km.
This was an Israeli strike, although they did inform the Yanks prior to it happening. An Italian refuelling military plane was over the Red Sea at the time.
